It may be wishful thinking but would like the club to condone their actions (after the Court has made their decision). The players sacrificed and weren't able to have family/partners around to share the experience. Our fanbase dreamed of this moment and those in Melbourne/Sydney had to watch from their homes. They'll laugh off any pecuniary punishment, so wonder how tough the Courts will be about potential jail time.

Guess he wants the chance to play more footy and knew he was deep in the queue with us. Hoping he gets picked up but also hope he never plays against The Dees/Casey. He's still a tackling beast.

Glad we asked the question at least. Still so much potential in young mids tho

In the build up to the GF I often had a MFC beanie or jacket on, lots of people talked to me or gave me a "Go Dees". Would have been happy with a headnod and that's it.

I was a little worried Kalani might sway towards the GC Suns through the academy due to his mates etc, but have enjoyed watching the White family celebrations has put that on ease a little (for now), hopefully we have a good few years and it's an obvious choice for him.

Agreed, good cover and also seemed to be loving life as a Dee.

Could be a costly trip for these lads who went via Darwin

Weid and Brown signing on, assume we've moved on from Jack Gunston?

Hunt is up and about, feel sorry for him. Lovely seeing the fringe players/young brigade excited. Not much of a reaction from Vanders/Melky - playing it very cool in the older heads section aha

Thanks applied for this, but also uncertain how it'll look with the background.

Tmac also involved early in this sequence too. Salem kicks out of defence to a Gawn/Keath contest and the ball goes over them both and Tmac is there for an easy mark. He then kicks it to Brown who can't quite grab it but gets the free for HTB with ~70 seconds left - Brown bombs it in and then the rest is history.

It was definitely strange the way the finals unfolded. The club has been through so much struggle, and I always envisaged we'd break the drought with a tight victory. But we relatively cruised through the 3 finals with a 190 point combined winning margin. I was nervous and worried in the 3rd quarter of the GF but we just blew them away and I just let it all sink in. I always thought I'd cry happy tears but i did not, guess it may have been different if I was there.

WOWEEE DOUBLE D

Thought about the concept of retiring numbers recently, but decided against it as I love watching Gawn running around in Jimmy's old number etc. It's a shame most of the MFC based awards are already coddled up to a name

Here is a little Petracca interaction I had on social media in 2015- midway through the season only having won 4 games and been belted a few times. He was confident they'd get things right, it took a bit longer than expected but he always believed.

Forget Player Sponsorship, let's get a Burgo Sponsorship aha

Also the first time I was nervous and on the tins aha

I enjoy this photo, makes me want to thank North Melbourne.

Yeh he was another one who's game improved on multiple viewings.

Congrats, but also Melbourne have won an AFL flag every year you have had a baby. You know what you need to do now.
